I'm a programmer (personally and professionally). I like roguelikes (ascended one barbarian in Nethack) and try to work on them, but don't have anything impressive to show you.

After running out of [[food]] due to not assigning [[crops]] to be grown, I set this fortress aside to start Region 3 rather than watch everyone chase rodents and [[Losing#Starvation|starve]]. Later returned to it with more expertise, got food from a [[caravan]], and managed a full recovery. Still have the in-progress save game, but stopped playing it after losing substantial progress (city walls) to a [[Init.txt#Seasonal autosave|crash]].

I got ambitious and carefully customized the fortress and party [[Name|names]] before [[embark]].

=== Simulate 9/11 ===
+
Machinehall was built in two phases:
−
Build a pair of very tall, identical towers, using supports, and collapse them both. Two variants:
+
# Complex I: Single 32x32 room
−
# Make the links between the walls and the floors tenuous, and simulate "pancaking" as magma ("jet fuel") causes them to weaken and give way.
+
#* [[Workshops]] along the walls
−
# Controlled demolition with thermite.
+
#* [[Stockpiles]] in the middle
−
* BONUS: Fill the towers with goblin cages and release them all just in time to be crushed.
+
#* [[Defense design#Goblin detour|Kinked entry passage]] with [[fortifications]] for [[marksdwarves]]
 +
#* Well and waterfall in one corner
 +
# Complex II: 17 15x15 levels, with a helix ramp in the center
 +
#* Planned waterfall in the center of the ramp (never tested)
 +
#* Each level dedicated to a specific industry or activity
 +
Unfortunately, these phases are not close together, and the transition is taking a very long time. Currently most dwarves in Machinehall can be found walking in the long passage between them.
  
−
=== Megaplumbing ===
+
=== Queen Saga ===
−
Sanitation is one of the primary concerns of city planners, yet most dwarves have no place to use the restroom. Yours will!
+
Eventually, Machinehall grew enough to attract the interest of royalty. After an artifact mechanism was used in a drawbridge, Queen Lorbam Äkiltosid arrived and proclaimed her demands for the finest, most lavish accommodations imaginable. Plans for such were drawn up immediately, and work began. Not fast enough for Her Royal Highness, however; with each passing day, the indignity of her condition weighed upon the noble monarch, until finally one day it was all too much.
  
−
Build a giant white stone toilet that flushes, including bowl, tank, handle, and seat. Deviate from realism as little as possible. Use it to dispose of hostile captives.
+
Lorbam Äkiltosid, Queen has gone stark raving mad!
  
−
[http://mkv25.net/dfma/movie-245-flushingtoilet GauHelldragon already did this]! Further suggestions:
+
She wandered aimlessly, overcome with despair. Where had she gone wrong? Surely road value is an excellent way to choose where to live! Eventually, the Queen threw herself into Machinehall Complex II's 17-level dry waterfall.
−
* Don't flood the whole map.
 
−
* Emulate real toilets' mechanism for stopping flow and refilling the tank automatically.
 
  
−
=== Turnover ===
+
Lorbam Äkiltosid, Queen has died after colliding with an obstacle.
−
A mysterious poltergeist in your region takes an unorthodox approach to avoiding overcrowding.
 
−
# Construct a large suicide chamber or many small ones, capable of liquidating a whole fortress's population.
 
−
# At the start of each migration wave, execute all of your residents and let the migrants take over a vacant fortress.
 
  
−
* Since your population is always new, there is not enough time to build up high levels of skill.
+
And her subjects mourned. Or at least I assume they will; the loss of the Queen prompted me to save my game (and not come back to it yet).
−
* On the other hand, relationships would also remain relatively shallow.
 
−
* Special care must be taken to protect incoming migrants since wiping them out now causes the whole fortress to fail.
 
−
* Keeping the fortress secure while it's empty has to be balanced against allowing the migrants to enter. Bridges controlled by indoor and outdoor levers may be one approach.
 
  
−
* BONUS: Try to time it well enough to reduce your population briefly to 1 incoming migrant!
+
=== Other Events ===

* First Tax Collector mandated items made from unavailable materials.

** Innocent craftdwarf was blamed, charged, and executed!

I used the site finder, with the only search parameter being the presence of a magma pipe, then carved the bottom Z-level into 5x10 chunks without finding one. However, I did eventually notice some Frogman bones in my stocks. Sure enough, these had sunk to the bottom of an undiscovered underground river.

Sometime between Machinehall and Blockedbridge, I created a world in which to try [[Adventurer mode]]. The framerate was very slow and I was unable to find anything to do. I wandered through an [[Elf|Elven]] settlement talking to its residents, but none of them seemed to be the quest boss I wanted to meet, and I had no way to locate him. I decided that if I wanted a single-character questing experience, I could go play Nethack or Crawl instead, whereas [[Dwarf fortress mode]] is far more novel and interesting. Perma-saved.
